NH's Union Leader Blames Frist

In follow-up to my last post in which I ended with the following question,

With such a lack of party loyalty on display this week, are we seeing the beginning of the unraveling of the GOP Senate majority?

Manchester's (NH) Union Leader might seem to think so and takes GOP Senate Majority Leader Dr. Bill Frist to task for not effectively rallying the troops and allowing a compromise on judicial nominations. They also take a shot at his presidential aspirations by ending thusly:

Frist has again showed that he is no match for Senate Democrats. If he cannot effectively lead 55 Republican senators, how can he be trusted to lead the party and the country three years from now?

Looks like the doc's gonna have to make a house call to Manchester, maybe during the summer recess, to cool things down, build support, and start again.
